Has anyone played this? I sort of missed it when it was released last month. I'm at least intrigued by the art direction and think it looks like a higher end indie title. Not really a fan of episodic content in general except for Sam&Max where I thought it worked well.

Looking through the general rpg forums and it got widely panned upon release and nobody really commented on it.

I think I will wait unti all episodes are out before considering it. If they made combat as tediuos as the reviews made it sound, it needs a really strong story to support it. Also all episodes taken together, it will be rather pricey for an indie game. Still, i like the art and the artsy premise.

Sounds like a plan. I've got way too much of a backlog as it is to be picking up stuff on a whim especially if its gameplay is suspect. At $5 per episode I could pickup quite a few legitimately good titles from gog and have a better idea of what I'm getting.

knowning nothing about the game myself i would like to state the following:
while waiting 'til all the episodes (or dlc) are released is good for the consumer from an economic perspective and fine in regards to large devs/publishers like EA or Bethesda. for small outfits though it defeats the purpose and you will be unlikely to see all of those eposides since these devs are often self bankrolling development or have marginal capital investments that create basically "pilots" for their games and if everyone even remotely interested and or put off by $5 or $10 for a short episode says NO then dead becomes the game and maybe developers.

Most recent episodic games i've not really had an interest in like Sam and Max or American McGees Grimm Tales. Siege of Avalon was however great back in the day and helped to bring back of love of PC gaming for me.
